i cannot and i would stress if you look at the bush administration policy and the obama administration policy, they are very similar because they are dictated by realities. >> the best aspects of the policy toward iran are those where he has continued the bush administration policy. that is true in general. [unintelligible] obama has changed a lot. look at cairo speech and his general attitude to the middle east. look at what in june, 2009, with the green movement erupting in iran, with no support. then he looked a couple months ago that you cannot contain this regime with the clear weapons, so they have to be prevented from getting nuclear weapons. the u.s. policy is prevention, not deterring. i have a question whether sanctions will prevent -- i am afraid they will not. i do not think the policy will prevent. maybe it will be necessary to use force, so the administration has been thinking that through and preparing that, creating obstacles to israel as they feel they would have to do that. obama has moved on iran. , a hopi finishes the job in preventing iran -- i hope he finishes the

that is a great story for the obama administration to tell. now, whether the president can take full credit for that, that is probably not of course. there are plenty of factors that go into manufacturing hiring. he can set the stage for sure, but you have things like productivity, labor consists, lots of other factors that go into that. aside from that, another thing i always want to point out on the president's manufacturing line is just that manufacturing makes up less than 10% of the labor force. it is a big part but not that big. there are other sectors that are larger. host: four first call for danielle kurtzleben is from bonnie in street, maryland. she is unemployed. go ahead. caller: good morning. i have a comment and a question. our governor brags about he bought -- brought in foreign college students to fill every summer job in ocean city, maryland. they have to pay $1,2 and they get a green card and a place to live. what are our children going to do? our state is depressed because of people moving out of the city and he is bringing
